Charlotte wins IMO. It is so hard for me to pick against Magic, but if you put Jordan in his prime on the floor with Durant and KG, there's no freaking way they are losing.

oh there is too, magic dominates PG, Jordan dominates SG...the other 3 spots are insaine to pick a winner for me it came down to bench.

HATE going against Magic, but you have no way to stop Jordan... Magic keeps it close but to much Jordan in the end... Flash backs of 1991...

 

[da55bums]

hate to tell you but Jordan can't cover Magic and George Gervin, who ever DJ gets, they won't be stopped either, lol

Do you not remember how good DJ is defensively... He won't stop Magic but he will play him tight... Who has a shot at Jordan, Iceman or Magic...?

This. Nobody is straight up stopping magic and Gervin. But MJ abd DJ can slow them as much as anyone can. Meanwhile MJ and durant are going to be having their way.

 

[da55bums]

Magic made his career against DJ, I think he will dominate him again.

 

[da55bums]

Durant dominates Connie Hawkins (hell, he didn't even make it to his prime years) holy crap...yep, the TV players vs the old schools...Connie did rather well against Jerry West, Wilt and Elgin Baylor all on one team...Durant should be a major problem, lol.

Bump. Please everyone vote. Voting ends at 5pm today.

I think Connie Hawkins does well on Durant, about as good as can be expected... Durant can score in many ways no way you can think Hawk shuts him down...

As for Magic... You must have selective memory... Prime Magic KILLED DJ, but DJ was pretty good early on guarding Magic... DJ is a little older so his prime and Magics prime don't match up but if you take both at prime years DJ is one of the few that could stay with Magic... You're arguing something similar to Pip would have killed Magic if they were both priming because he did well vs an older Magic... Here are some stats for you... Magic Johnson vs. Dennis Johnson | Basketball-Reference.com

Also you have KG and Thurmond to deal with... Thurmonds numbers vs both Wilt and KAJ are amazing... Which means he would be able to handle Ewing and KG should own Lucas with his elbow jumper when Lucas has to help because you have 0 players to stop Jordan... 0 players to stop JORDAN... Jordan Kobe and Barry are perhaps the only 3 players who can dominate outside in... Iceman has no jumper, plus needs the ball which takes it out of Magics hand...

I just see Jordan causing way to much trouble which will eventually get Magics team frustrated and breaking defensive principles to help which then opens you up for Durant and KG daggers... Jordan with 44points 7assists 6rebs 3stls, and dunks on Ewing 3 times...

now that was great, lol

 

[da55bums]

I will say, I love Thurmond and that was a great pick, but also love Gervin, hawkins and Lucas...I agree the Jordan factor is almost impossible to overcome but its almost 4 vs 5 with DJ there...but Jordan can count as 2, lol..

Like I said to begin with, thought this one was a tie and almost had to base it on the worst players on either team Korver...and save your breath on convincing that a bench player should be on a All Time team. That was a I saw him have a few great games pick.
